Whenever I create a project in Eclipse and include javafx, the application does not load when I click the run button.
e.g.
package test;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class test extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
});
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(btn);
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 250));
primaryStage.show();
}
}
This should run a simple hello world application, taken from the oracle documentation. However when I 'run' this code, no windows open. Instead an application called 'java' opens. It appears 'java' is simply a 'unix executable file' located in 'jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/contents/home/bin'. The application 'java' displays absolutely nothing, and cannot be shut down without force quitting.
I'm running eclipse on a Macbook. I've probably left out some important details...
Does anyone know why my application is not running as it should? Forgive my naivety, I'm new to java and eclipse.
Many Thanks
EDIT:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class JavaFX extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args){
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
stage.show();
}
}
This simple program also gives the same error.
